What's Interesting To Note Is That Back In The Covid Era, TikTok Was Banned Along With A Number Of Chinese

This fandom is insane.

Arcane AU where everyone is a muppet

...Except for Silco:

These are so 😍 and their use of shapes and designs is so creative. I feel it's more spring coded though.

It's so weird when people say that these western stories are very inclusive, they have people from every race yet they don't include Indian people who migrate and settle in all developed countries over the world. You'll find loads of us in America, Singapore, UAE, Western Europe and even China, South-East Asia and South-Asian countries. We are everywhere yet are somehow almost always ignored or added as a second thought.

no but i am actually going to cry. grover being played by a desi actor will forever make me cry as a desi person who never saw himself in pjo because there weren’t any desi characters because this is THE representation we need

It's insane how I made this exact same comparison in the notes of a pro-palestinian post after a zionist replied to it, damn. well said.

do you not realize that jews are indigenous to israel? there is both genetic and archaeological evidence. additionally the reason most jews who lived in europe simply can’t return (where they are not indigenous to anyways) is because their neighbors literally were robbing and raping and killing and turning them into the nazis and other armies that were trying to kill them. it wasn’t just the nazis killing them. and do you know the state of antisemitism in america? jews make up the majority of victims of hate crimes, more than any other minority group in the united states. the fbi releases statistics every year. israel is the only country where they are not subject to outright discrimination on the basis of ethnicity and religion. this is because jews are not white. they are from the levant. if palestinians are not white, and many are actually originally from even further north than israel/palestine (many common last names translate to “the (name of non-arab group formerly colonized by the arabs)), then neither are jews.

yes palestinians are also victims of colonization, by the arabs and british and turks, NOT by israel; who aside from india is the only successful state to have fully decolonized. this does not mean palestinians are treated entirely fairly, but part of this is due to the fact that palestine has an entirely separate government, and israel has fully withdrawn from gaza aside from continuing to provide water and electricity, something they are not required to do as a separate country. egypt does not provide these resources despite also having a blockade set up.

palestine was not peaceful for jews before the establishment of israel. look up any given city or town and the word “pogrom” and you will be met with the story of a systemic killing of jews in that municipality

I’m going to have to use a few examples to explain this.

Romani people are ethnically indigenous to northern India and are currently mostly dispersed thoughout Europe, they were also victims in the holocaust and they are also heavily discriminated against in all parts of the world they live especially in Europe. If, leading up to and after the holocaust a Romani person created a Zionist-like ideology of a Romani ethnostate. If after WWII, with the help of the British they mass immigrated back to northern India as refugees and were welcomed by the indigenous Indians already living there. Would it have been okay for them to then commit their own nakba and colonise a portion of northern India and rename it Romaniland or whatever the fuck?? Start expelling and murdering the Indians that had been living there for generations who also have an ethnic claim to the land? Packing 2 million of them in a 45km squared strip of land and do to them what Israelis are doing to Gazans? Having the fucking audacity to say it’s okay because “they were here first” 1000 years ago? While also somehow simultaneously claiming that there were no people there? “a people without land and a land without people” ??

Did you know that before Zionists settled on Palestine, they also considered Uganda and Argentina for their Zionist state?? The Zionist ideology is inherent to the existence of modern Israel and is the reason it was created, the racism, colonialism, apartheid and genocide is not the fault of a bad government but the foundation of the country itself. The Zionist ideology and genocidal intentions were already in place before they step foot in Palestine and could also be happening right now in Uganda or Argentina instead so don’t try to bullshit that “they were here first” because they would be doing this regardless of the location.

Palestinians are victims of Israeli colonisation as we can see with our own eyes right this moment and literally how dare you even say that. Also you know who else is killed and discriminated against everywhere in the world they go? Women, gay people, disabled people, Romani people, this wouldn’t justify any of these groups creating their own apartheid state anywhere in the world and start doing what Israelis are currently doing.

I want to make it clear that in the process of the Israeli state returning the land to Palestine and ceasing to exist, not one single person needs to be harmed or killed, a lot of them won’t even have to leave the country and can just live in Palestine, amongst Palestinian people of all religions including Jewish, as they did when they first arrived after WWII. If Romani people also wanted to move back to northern India without colonising it and creating an apartheid state this would also be completely okay fucking obviously. Modern Israel is not the Israel from the bible. Every piece of land on earth is already belonging to an existing country and you cannot create a new one without occupying another. Sucks but that’s the reality. Have a terrible day.

The Samsung batteries? Pretty fucking well ig.

Even 5+ year old phones are still usable to this date.

Can't say that for Apple though

This is great 👍

Kraig’s Retirement Party is about to get absolutely WILD this week 👀

As @bookishjules and I prepare to break down Julian’s letter to Magnus and all the theories that come with it, catch up with last week’s episode where we ranted about inconsistencies, our favorite crack ship, what Rupert being the ghost means for both the story and the enchantment and everything inbetween!

Oh, and we did A LOT of SoBHing.

If you have any theories, thoughts or questions, send them our way! We want to know all of them!

Reminder! This is our first episode, so bear with us as we fumble through editing and recording. We’ll get better as we go, swear on the Angel!

I love this and now idk about how low my music taste has gone.

Akali has a tiny manta ray and she has friends she can trust. I am speechless and so happy.

Hi.

This author is a friend of mine and I would heavily appreciate if you read their work. The effort they've put into writing this story is phenomenal. You can also find all sorts of updates on this story on their blog @midnight-favours-the-meek

Hi, I’m Ivy Curtain. I’m a writer who focuses on worldbuilding in contemporary fantasy. You can read my current novel, Midnight Favours The Meek on Wattpad and soon on AO3. It is a story about religious trauma, magic, love and finding happiness. I will update it every second week.

On this blog you can find extra content like the Mythology of the Patruh, artwork of characters or snippets before a new chapter will be published. No spoilers though.

A cursed bride, trying to make her family proud.

An outlaw still fighting for his people.

A diplomat looking to repay an old dept.

And a teen who seeks to finally break the cycle.

They won't find what they looking for and yet so much more.

The Patruh, last of the magical peoples, live among us humans in secret. Since ancient times they are hunted by a Christian secret society. Only in dreams they can be themselves and use their powers, in the magical city of Alasma.

Balria is the youngest daughter of the High priestess, looking for a betrothed in the high society of Patruh, when she gets cursed by the Goddess of the Lost. She has to appease the Goddess or find a way to lift the curse before anyone notices, or the reputation of her family is destroyed forever. Balria teams up with faithless outsider Tojas to find a break for her curse. But Tojas seems to have a motive of his own, a bold or reckless plan. And a heart for Balria.

Together, they uncover a secret that will shatter the very concept of magic.
